Sadler has been under fire since her remark about Senator John McCain’s terminal illness during a closed-door meeting last month.

Sadler apologized to the lawmaker’s daughter Meghan McCain, but did not apologize publicly.

McCain is currently undergoing treatment for brain cancer, and has not returned to Capitol Hill this year.

It is not known if Sadler’s comments were the cause of her departure at the White House.
